You always said i wouldn't stay
I guess you saw the way before it all began
I've always been a changin' train
And when you think on this you might forgive me then
Thanks for chicago mr james
And all the shiny suits and all the shiny names
The things a country boy can't grace
Without the look of shame upon a city face
And you needed more than the smile i wore
You picked me up on my way down
That dusty one horse town - i won't forget the jail
The mayor's wife and cadillac
The sheriff on my back 'til you put up the bail
Thanks for chicago mr james
You got a lot of grace but you're an empty place
The dawn falls hard upon my face
I'll move as i began through fields without a plan
Thanks for chicago mr james
That world of grey and gold that watched you growing old
The things i never saw i see
To think that i'm still free and i'm not feeling cold
